Above-mentioned reflecting surface 3 is made of compound ellipsoid, is configured to have first focal point F 1 near bulb 2, and is configured to the optical axis of its major axis along bulb 2.
Herein, above-mentioned compound ellipsoid is defined by following formula (1),
Formula (1)
Be included in the ellipse of revolution face (a=b) that z-y section has major axis a, has major axis b at z-x section.
Above-mentioned projecting lens 4 is convex lens, and the focus that is configured to its bulb 2 sides is positioned near the second focal position F2 of above-mentioned reflecting surface 3.
And above-mentioned light barrier 5 is configured near the position that the focus of bulb 2 sides of second focus of above-mentioned reflecting surface 3 and projecting lens 4 overlaps.
According to the headlamp 1 of such formation, the light that penetrates from bulb 2 directly or after above-mentioned reflecting surface 3 reflections incides projecting lens 4, by projecting lens 4 by optically focused, thereby irradiation forwards.

But, in the headlamp 1 that constitutes like this, as shown in Figure 6, in the gamut that light penetrates, projecting lens 4 being set, this projecting lens 4 forms that the back is smooth, the front is convex.
Therefore, headlamp 1 forms the long structure of fore-and-aft direction on the whole, and when being assembled to the Vehicular body front of automobile, rigging position is restricted, and owing to projecting lens 4 is made of glass self, so volume is big more then heavy more.
And, because projecting lens 4 is so-called simple lenses, produce aberration sometimes, and because blocking of light barrier 5 can produce color separated.
To this, as shown in Figure 7, with bulb 2, reflecting surface 3 and light barrier 5 configuration in the other direction, in the position relative speculum 6 is set and replaces projecting lens 4 with bulb 2, make compound elliptical reflecting carry out the imaging reflection by above-mentioned speculum 6 based on reflecting surface 3, thereby towards the place ahead irradiates light.
But in this structure, the light after speculum 6 carries out imaging reflection is towards the reflecting surface 3 of light source side, and its part face 3 that is reflected blocks.Therefore, the light quantity in irradiation the place ahead reduces, and is difficult to obtain desirable irradiation light quantity.
Therefore, as shown in Figure 8, make bulb 2, reflecting surface 3 deflection oblique uppers, make, carry out the imaging reflection towards the place ahead at speculum 6 from the light of bulb 2 after reflecting surface 3 carries out compound elliptical reflecting.
But this structure can make headlamp integral body become big at above-below direction, so when being assembled to the Vehicular body front of automobile, rigging position is restricted equally.
